Product Description

'I am definitely a romantic, and I have always loved the stars as well as music. So, it was inevitable that they came together one starry summer night... Jupiter was in Sagittarius. Cygnus, the Swan, was making his never-ending journey down the Milky Way, and the Summer Triangle sparkled overhead.The crystal-clear skies of that rare summer held black velvet nights of diamond-studded splendor that slowly turned towards autumn. And song by song the music came...'
